Scum bags destroying, looting and burning. Protest. Please do! Verbally, peacefully. For as long as they feel necessary. MLK wouldn’t approve of the violence, looting and destruction.

I loved it. It’s been far too long.

Watched Ad Astra tonight. meh... it was pretty good. It’s no Interstellar, but not bad.

Meh. He’s got a nice skill set. I hope he develops more and another club will give him a bigger role.

Meh. It’s a good sound bite. I’ve noticed, almost every coach, GM and player ... they have canned responses to questions. Answers that don’t stir the pot or are non controversial. I’ve also noticed, not all fans are aware of this. Pegulas say something .... Get the pitchforks! JB says something .... He sucks get him outta here! RK says something .... ❤️❤️❤️ ? They all try to keep their cards close to the vest. They all tell the media what they want to hear. And what they think fans will eat up. With the occasional “off the reservation” rant. Good sound bite. No real substance.

And who were the suckers who quickly believed it. ? And then started to hate or dislike ROR from the day he said what he Said about “lost love for the game” Etc. and for some even hated him from the moment he had his TH incident. ?

No other year has a physical or “mental” asterisk next to the SC champions. At least from what I can gather. So no, it won’t. Nor should it.

Wife and I have been wearing sanding and fiberglass N95 compliant white masks. When We started using them while visiting stores, we had 7 masks. my supply is down to two left. I can’t find any supply anywhere to restock. I may change up to a cloth mask after I’m out. Or those cheap ass paper masks. My wife can get those as needed, since she works at Roswell. Not sure which of paper vs. cloth would be more effective. We wear masks when going into all stores. We never wear them outside walking, running, biking, working around the house inside and out, or the occasional visit to the parents. If we visit, we keep at a safe distance from them. We still see people in stores with no mask on once in a while. Stores are definitely not enforcing their own (and Cuomo’s) “must have a mask on in our store” policy.

I took the option to take the money Sabres “refunded” and make my first downpayment for next season. Plus $100 Credit for the Sabres store. Since I rarely buy merch due to the obnoxious overpriced poorly made crap, I figured well ... if I see anything half way decent, at least I’ll get it for “free” persay.

Same here. Frankly I’m glad the Sabres aren’t in this abomination of desperation to “complete” the season.

A New Entry in the Race for a Coronavirus Vaccine: Hope Scientists are increasingly optimistic that a vaccine can be produced in record time. But getting it manufactured and distributed will pose huge challenges. In a medical research project nearly unrivaled in its ambition and scope, volunteers worldwide are rolling up their sleeves to receive experimental vaccines against the coronavirus — only months after the virus was identified. Companies like Inovio and Pfizer have begun early tests of candidates in people to determine whether their vaccines are safe. Researchers at the University of Oxford in England are testing vaccines in human subjects, too, and say they could have one ready for emergency use as soon as September. Moderna on Monday announced encouraging results of a safety trial of its vaccine in eight volunteers. There were no published data, but the news alone kindled hopes and sent the company’s stock soaring. Animal studies have raised expectations, too. Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center on Wednesday published research showing that a prototype vaccine effectively protected monkeys from infection with the virus. The findings will pave the way to development of a human vaccine, said the investigators. They have already partnered with Janssen, a division of Johnson & Johnson. In labs around the world, there is now cautious optimism that a coronavirus vaccine, and perhaps more than one, will be ready sometime next year. Scientists are exploring not just one approach to creating the vaccine, but at least four. So great is the urgency that they are combining trial phases and shortening a process that usually takes years, sometimes more than a decade. The coronavirus itself has turned out to be clumsy prey, a stable pathogen unlikely to mutate significantly and dodge a vaccine. “It’s an easier target, which is terrific news,” said Michael Farzan, a virologist at Scripps Research in Jupiter, Fla. An effective vaccine will be crucial to ending the pandemic, which has sickened at least 4.7 million worldwide and killed at least 324,000. Widespread immunity would reopen the door to lives without social distancing and face masks.

I think some fans or posters think the word “dominate“ must mean number one in all positive categories. Unequivocally the best in that league bar none. It’s an unrealistic expectation, and practically impossible to achieve. But I think some fans confused the meaning of the word “dominate“. But I do agree he has nothing more to prove in the lower league anymore. if he has an incredible training camp, and solid nine game tryout, he stays up.

Tage. What’s his future? The following is more of a hope ... He kills it in Training camp. Is solid as a third liner in the 20-21 season. Gets the opportunity a few times throughout the season to see how he looks on the second line also.

I’ve had 8-9 different brands of plain veggie burgers over the years. Not to mention the multitude of specially flavored types those brands offer. Beyond Burgers and impossible burgers are legit ??

Finished Homeland. Love that show. Gonna miss it. Now started Better Call Saul. 1st episode in the books. I like it.

Yea, I saw these last year. They’re awesome. ?

In this thread, I get triggered every time I read what some posters type... but it’s sooo not worth (to me) trying to have convos or debates. Everyone is hardcore dug in to their opinions. Debating just turns into insults and name calling. I just observe the educated and not so educated posts. And share the occasional news article about developments or latest info.

Bloody hell ... Now that you got that out of your system, and made some kind of soapbox statement about the country… Are you having anything for Cinco de Mayo today?

I’m supporting a local franchise owner. I ordered a huge family of 8 fiesta pack online. Picking it up around 5:30. It’s only the wife and I so we’ll have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow and probably Thursday too.

Sound off! Who’s partaking in Mexican grub today?
